BigIP Report Old

Worked when I created a new instance, I'm currently using PowerShell 7.0.1 , just out of curiosity is it possible to run this from a Linux Machine, given that it uses PS 7?

Again thanks for the help 😊

Hello.... not sure if I'm posting to a correct thread but just like to ask if someone already experience the issue below when running bigipreport 5.2.9. I'm getting a lot of these on particularly 1 F5.

For those running v15, try the Beta. Looks like iControl SOAP might have issues on v15 and the Beta only uses REST.

Kind regards,

I thought I replied to this before, but I can't find it in the poor DevCentral feed.

The Beta version 5.4.1 does not require the snapin and will run on non-windows platforms. I'm testing on Ubuntu LTS. The windows version of powershell seems to be somewhat more efficient at forking processes. Be sure your config file includes forward slashes instead of back slashes, and that it does not include drive references. Relative paths work in both. ../../www/output/ etc.

 , I've tried Beta 5.4.0 in windows 10 powershell 7. And it is taking forever polling stats.

After 222 pools in just 1 LB, here is the counter.

PS C:\bigipreport> d: 0, Remaining: 1, Time: 938.0811089. Is that normal polling stats of every pool 1 by 1?

 I just upgraded our devices to 14.1.2.6 due to CVE-2020-5902. I'm running version 5.3.1 which worked well on version 13 but not it appears to have issues with connecting to the devices and it is intermittent. I keep getting the error:

The script failed to connect to <ip address>, run the report manually to determine if this was due to a timeout of bad credentials.

<ip address> error: The request failed with HTTP status 401: F5 Authorization Required.

It is the same credentials that it has always had so I'm wondering if there was a change in how authorization goes due to the control plane vulnerability with CVE-2020-5902. I've logged into the GUI with the credentials to verify they work. Any ideas?

Hey Shann

Are you using LDAP login by any chance? If so, look at my post a bit higher up.

Also, have a look at the audit logs/restjavad logs?

Kind regards,

Patrik

I am using an AD account in the config file. I'll look at the logs as well once I get done with these upgrades. Does running those commands cause a reboot for them to take affect?

If I recall correctly, no.

Kind regards,

Patrik

If you don't get the desired effect you could try to restart the nslcd daemon.

bigstart restart nslcd

That will only affect services depending on ldap.
